You can now send disappearing images and videos on WhatsApp that can be viewed only once. The new feature, aptly named “View Once,” takes cues from similar disappearing message options from the likes of Snapchat.

This post is brought to you by Wondershare, maker of PDFelement.

Wondershare’s PDFelement, now available in version 8.0, vies for the title of best Adobe Acrobat alternative and prides itself on being a PDF editor “built on simplicity,” whether you use it with macOS or Windows.

With all the sweeping changes of the last year, one thing seems to be sticking around (and maybe for the better): remote work opportunities. It seems that one out of four Americans will continue to work from home — and by 2025, approximately 36.2 million Americans will work remotely.

That’s an 87% increase from previous years! And while the added flexibility and increased work/life balance that can accompany remote work might be beneficial, not having immediate access to common office machines can certainly decrease productivity. Luckily, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on office equipment: This iScanner App: Lifetime Subscription allows you to easily scan, edit and organize documents, books, receipts, forms and more, right from your iPhone or iPad.

Popular email app Spike, which strips down emails to make them more like chats or test messages, just added audio and video calls. The update means Spike users can readily communicate in real time — and skip switching to Zoom, FaceTime or another videoconferencing app.

Space: the final frontier. And kinda sorta the theme of this week’s roundup of new and updated apps.

We’ve got an app that brings Star Trek, NASA and Tetris faces to Apple Watch. A free iOS game that will get arcade fans flashing back to Asteroids. And an audio app for women that blends erotica, meditation and ASMR for a trip deep into inner space.

I’m not sure how Godzilla and Kong fit into the space theme, but they crash onto the scene as well. (If only we had SpaceGodzilla.) Three … two … one …

Image-editing app Photo Sense and Luna Display also got big upgrades.
